Priest on trial for sexual assault in Texas had child with Louisiana congregant, prosecutors say
Roman Catholic priest Anthony Odiong is on trial in Waco, Texas on multiple first- and second-degree sexual assault charges for exploiting his clerical position to abuse spiritually vulnerable female congregants he provided spiritual guidance to. During the third day of trial, prosecutors presented DNA evidence confirming Odiong fathered a 3-year-old child with a separate Louisiana congregant around 2023 as proof of his pattern of abusive conduct, and noted additional uncharged alleged victims have been identified across Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Texas.
